The verdict

HQ runs at 168% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Coffee roasting workplace, earning a grade D.

HQ: 6.9 TCR = 168% of Coffee roasting BLS 4.1 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

HQ safety composite

HQ scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 14%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).
